Does anyone know what kind of helmet Jan Ullrich and T-Mobile wear? I got the free poster of him from my LBS and was really admiring his helmet.

Thanks :)

He used to wear Limar's, how old is the poster?

They are currently wearing UVEX i believe.

UVEX supplies Tmobile's 2004's TT helmets. Road is Limar.

Is the helmet small or does Jan have a big head?

Don't answer that.

Maybe it's just the picture?

But I want to try on the helmet though. I have to make sure I don't have mushroom head!

If you measure the circumferance of your head (where the helmet usually sits) the seller can tell you whether it'll fit. Then backfill the thing with pads.

Hope this helps!

I actually don't want the T-Mobile helmet itself. I just liked the style. I'd rather have the Phonak one, it looks awesome.
